Cincinnati, Ohio – can someone tell me what it’s like to live there??
Hi! I’m moving to a big city in about a year… I was leaning toward chicago, but someone today told me that I should check out Cincinnati, Ohio… can anyone tell me what it’s like to live there? like do they have a good public transportation system, etc.?
What would be even better is that if someone who has lived in both the cities (Chicago and Cincinnati) could compare and contrast the two for me.
THANKS!!

There are pros and cons to living in both cities. It really depends on what you are looking for in a city.
Cincinnati is not the greatest for singles. It is a great city to raise a family. The school systems in the suburbs are pretty good. There are a number of different museums you can visit. Traffic is not as bad as in Chicago. We do not have a subway system so getting around is either by bus, taxi or car.
There are a lot of different companies based in Cincinnati such as Procter & Gamble (makers of Tide, Bounty, Pampers), GE Aircraft Engines, Kroger (largest grocery store chain).
Chicago is a city sometimes we go visit. It is only about a 5-6 hour drive. The winters in Chicago are pretty bitter as it gets really cold. Because they are on Lake Michigan, it snows pretty hard there. Since Chicago is a big city, they have a better transportation system. Their subway system can take you to a lot of different places so you don’t have to drive. What is nice about Chicago is that they have a lot of diversity. I hear Chicago has the second largest population of Polish people outside of Poland. They also have a huge Chinatown. You can go see a lot of shows there also.
If I were you, I would take a visit to both cities and decide for yourself what you think. Cincinnati is a more conservative than Chicago but it is easy to get around.
